Liz Cheney's loss in Wyoming is Trump's biggest primary victory as he tries to purge the Republican Party of his critics

Former President Donald Trump strengthened his grip over the Republican Party on Tuesday evening with Rep. Liz Cheney’s primary loss in Wyoming.

Harriet Hageman, a Trump-endorsed lawyer, defeated Cheney, according to projections by Decision Desk HQ and Insider.

Cheney, who’s held Wyoming’s sole congressional seat for five years, had been Trump’s main target in his revenge plot to purge the Republican Party of members he deems disloyal to him. She was the highest-ranking Republican to vote to impeach him over the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot and she’s been one of his loudest critics since.

It’s the first thing I saw that reported Hageman’s win, and thus quite ironic. I did not want to deny the Freepers a decent dose of schadenfraude.

Post that statement on everyone of your socialist media platforms. Make the liberals hear, feel and see our dust as we approach the midterms and 2024. Make the communists fear. Fear the mighty hand of the truth, keep up the pressure.

The **** claims should would have won again by 70% if she went along with Trump’s “lies”... So the **** just stated Hageman’s supporters are ignorant idiots.

Liz is talking right now and she always as the same “I want to complain to the manager” expression on her face.

Watching the left simp for the Cheney family is the number one example of why democrats have no integrity. They literally called Dick Cheney satan until he started opposing Trump.

They are the ultimate sellouts.

And write a book ‘$$$$$$$ as well. This was her own doing nobody told her to slit her own throat. She wanted to be loved by the rats and by the mediapukes and she got her ass handed to her.Most certainly right after she gets off the stage concedes you know NBC CBS CNN etc. will be putting a contract in front of her face. She’s not done folks she’s got until January to completely destroy anything republican in her path.

Glad the anti-God/anti-American/fabian globalist/dizzy Lizzy has bought the farm (ranch) in Wyoming.

However, as she has lived in Virginia forever, and family plugged in, we will see her all across the marxist and treasonous mass media. She may even run for office in Northern Virginia.

These left wing feminist, lesbian wanna-be, conservative traitors have the worlds mega billionaire’s on speed dial.

Unfortunately, it’s a near guarantee, we haven’t seen the last of the rapidly morally spiraling establishment GOP types like Lieza Cheney...

Watching her now attacking ALL republicans.

She is a creep.

Not a word against Biden or a single Democrat.

Bottom line: if you oppose Trump, you are not a Republican. It may be time to rename the party.
